James Goodnow

In the time I have known James Goodnow, I have been able to see first-hand his dedication and commitment to being the best attorney he can be. James is hard working, dedicated and innovative. He is also always wanting to learn and know more about the industry. Never one to rest on his laurels, James is always looking for ways to improve not only his practice, but also himself. He’s good at what he does because he’s willing to invest in himself. I’m struck by James’ constant commitment to his work, his industry and his clients.

In the two years I have known James Goodnow and the Lamber Goodnow Injury Law Team, I have had the chance to witness what a dedicated and hard-working lawyer he is. When James is working with a client, he makes them feel like theirs is the only case he’s working on. His attention to detail is impressive, as is his determination to know everything he can about the case and the laws relating to it. James will do the best job he can for his clients, all day, every day.

James I met James Goodnow through his law partner Marc Lamber when I was involved in a car accident in 2014. As an attorney who specializes in personal injury cases, James is highly skilled and knowledgeable, and brings the highest level of expertise to his cases. And much like his partner Marc, the level of service James provides to clients is second to none. He genuinely cares about each and every one of his clients,

In today’s legal profession, being knowledgeable about the law isn’t all you need to be successful. You also need to be curious, inquisitive and hungry for information. James Goodnow is all of these. He is a skilled and educated attorney focused on making sure he knows everything he possibly can about a case so he can represent his clients effectively. James is focused on getting the job done right.

James Goodnow and his team at Fennemore Craig represented my mom and me after my parents were in a severe automobile accident. From the start, I was impressed with the professionalism of the entire team. They were knowledgeable, extremely competent and efficient in delegating their time and resources. As a lawyer, I respect all of that. I’d highly recommend James and his team. They all work extremely well together and get the job done.

I met James Goodnow after my husband was killed in a motorcycle accident. I’m so glad he was my lawyer. James was extremely polite and knowledgeable when I met him. Eventually, I also learned how tenacious James could be as an attorney. I had met other attorneys before I hired Fennemore Craig, and I didn’t like how they made me feel. But I never got that impression from James and his team. They were there to do the best for me and my children, but didn’t let that "out for blood" intensity overpower our interactions. I knew James would protect us and be aggressive, but I still liked him and trusted him. The insurance company was fighting back on the case. It was extremely painful, reliving those memories and going through painstaking details. There were filings and depositions. Each step, James explained what would happen. He’d tell me, "We know this is going to be very difficult, but I think it’s going to help if you can do it." James was next to me the whole time and supported me through the process, and he was determined to win. And we did. Years after everything was over, I remarried. Somehow through the grapevine James heard, and called to congratulate me – that’s the kind of person he is. He hasn’t forgotten about me. If you need a personal injury attorney, I’d definitely recommend James Goodnow.

When it comes to the law, James Goodnow is all about wanting to learn more, research more, and discover more. He is a flexible thinker and has a broad understanding of many areas of the law. At the same time, he’s careful about not stepping outside of the boundaries of what he knows, which is a sign of a excellent lawyer. James is a collaborator and works side-by-side with colleagues and legal professionals, always eager to know more about the law.
